The West Bengal government has extended the suspension of three IPS officers—Vineet Goyal (IPS:1994:WB), Abhishek Gupta (IPS:2011:WB), and Indira Mukhopadhyay (IPS:2013:WB)—by another four months in connection with the alleged mishandling of the investigation into the rape and murder of a young doctor at R G Kar Medical College and Hospital.
According to a senior government official, the suspension of the three officers, which was imposed on May 15, 2026, has now been extended for a further period of four months.
The officers were placed under suspension over alleged lapses in the police investigation and dereliction of duty in the high-profile case that sparked nationwide outrage and prolonged protests by the medical fraternity.
The suspension order was issued after the state government reviewed the handling of the case following Suvendu Adhikari assuming office as the Chief Minister of West Bengal.
